It might be a bit selfish Dan, and I'll admit that, but when I was posting
aggressively I was looking to really boost my PHP skills. Frankly I think
this list was a major contributor to rapid success in the industry, and I
always tell fellow developers to join the list if they're looking for a
similar boost.
Just for the record, my #1 favorite thread was the argument about php4 vs 5
oo, when Tony Marsten and I were going at it tooth and nail and Rob showed
how to change the value of a private member variable via serialization -
EPIC!
Dan I also remember when you were sending the tally of weekly posts per
contributor at the end of each week, which I think spurred activity for some
time.
I still hop on threads from time to time, just a lot more picky about which
ones any more. >ducks<
